    That, and I'd be too tempted to try deep sea fishing off the starboard side...
    um...what's wrong with that? Is fishing allowed only off the port side?
    Everything will be ok in the end. If it's not ok, it's not the end.

        Waaaaay back in the dark distant past before VCRs (video cassette recorders) and video cameras, and long before DVDs and digital cameras, there was a thing called a 'home movie'.

        You can see home movies shown in some episodes of M*A*S*H.

        In the current era, most middle-class and higher people have a digital camera that can take short movies. Many have a specialised digital movie camera.

        In the era of video cameras, most middle class extended families had at least one uncle or aunt who had a video camera.

        In the era of home movies, most middle class and higher neighbourhoods would have a movie-geek wanna-be film director who had a movie camera.

        Super-8 was one of the standard film types for home movies.
        Seshat's self-help guide:
        1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
        2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
        3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
        4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.
